Do you, or any other "desi" on this forum, find this disturbing?

Do I find it disturbing that people feel the need to constantly point out faults they may have seen in certain members of a racial group, and then ascribe them to the entire group? Of course. That's why I criticized Nooria's post in the first place, and then went to lengths to prove that I was correct in my criticism.

Then brother, would you say roughly equal magnitude? Or less so? As I said already, this is not something that can be quantified, so to attempt to do so is pointless.

Even bringing up the high frequency of posts made by desis about arabs cannot be a sound measure of a tendency in a particular racial group because 1. the majority of forum members are desi, so the chance that posts of that nature will be made by a desi are proportionately higher 2. it may be that those who post those threads are more active than those who would/do not 3. the sample of desis on this forum may not be representative of the entire population.
